  • Title: [Problems in the diagnosis and surgical treatment in an osseous tuberculosis hospital].
    Author: Sokolov NI, Evlashkin DV, Karzhavina GI.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2006; (7):37-41. PubMed ID: 16944713.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosed patients treated at an osseous tuberculosis hospital are analyzed. In the reporting period, the diagnosis of osseous tuberculosis has not been verified. Late detection of osseous tuberculosis, as its prehospital hyperdiagnosis is one of the main reasons of a grave condition in this group of patients. The paper characterizes plastic reparative versus palliative decompressive operations for tuberculous spondylitis with spinal-cord abnormalities and shows that radical surgery has a higher efficiency (89%) in the treatment of an inflammatory process and in the regression of neurological complications. In generalized forms of osteoarticular lesions if there is an indication for surgical treatment, long-term drug therapy for tuberculosis of the lung and other organs is not warranted.
